I think it's important to acknowledge exactly what has happened here.
The cyclist represented himself at the beginning of the trial and chose to not put in a counterclaim against the pedestrian who was awarded £3kish for an 8mm scar on her lip. The rest of the £100k is court costs, which he probably wouldnt be liable for if he had lawyered up from the start and entered a counterclaim.
Moral of the story is, always lawyer up. Because if you try to be a nice guy and do the right thing in court, you make an easy target of yourself.
